Monitoring with Amazon CloudWatch
Metrics

Kinesis Firehose integrates with CloudWatch metrics so that you can collect, view,
and analyze CloudWatch
metrics for your Kinesis Firehose delivery streams. For example, you can monitor the
IncomingBytes and IncomingRecords metrics to keep track of
data ingested into Kinesis Firehose from data producers.

The metrics that you configure for your Kinesis Firehose delivery streams and agents
are automatically
collected and pushed to CloudWatch every five minutes. Metrics are archived for two
weeks;
after that period, the data is discarded.

The metrics collected for Kinesis Firehose delivery streams are free of charge. For
information about Kinesis
agent metrics, see Monitoring Kinesis Agent Health.
